Found The Right 'Responsive Code' For this Blog

 I've found the right code to make this blogger site responsive, and it will take rewriting all my tables into a gallery code. It's going to take a long time going back and re-writing all the code, but it will take the images that seem to stretch when on a phone or tablet, and make them clearer, one image on the screen at a time.

It's currently not horrible, just a bit stretched, but in time you will see it looking better! I'll be doing this while doing all the other things I've got going on. I might not get the house dusted or swept for a while, but I will keep getting the other things done! Thanks for visiting!!

After the Storms - Making a Dinosaur Jacket

My Dino Jacket

I had to put my machine away, due to the storms that came through, both Helene and Milton. We didn't take a direct hit, but when a storm like those approaches, everything has to be packed away or tied down. I packed everything away for the first one, waited to be sure it was safe to bring everything back out again, then turned around and packed it all up again. I hope I wont be packing again this year.

Once unpacked again after the second storm, I finished the Birthday quilt and got it into the mail, and did some tweaking to the pants I made earlier (too long, reset buttons, fix a waistband) then started on this jacket. I was originally going to make it for someone else, but no one appeared interested (don't wear plush, don't like dinosaurs...) so I am making it for me! I used a pattern, for the sleeves and body size, to get them right. I changed the shoulders the bottom, the cuffs, the collar to get the bomber-style I wanted. I couldn't find a pattern to match, so I made it up as I went along.
